Folks Are Paying An Absurd Amount For A Weed Emoticon On Steam

Kotaku - The introduction of the Steam Trading card system—which allows players to earn tradable badges, profile backgrounds, emoticons, and coupons on Steam by playing games—has created a most peculiar market of digital items that people are willing to pay lots of cash for.

I don't mind either but to me it's always been whether or not I want to feel like crap in the morning? To me, that's the only real downfall of alcohol. Good up to a point and then it's all downhill from there. So I've transitioned to smoking. Feel great and wake up feeling normal.

Oh no, don't get me wrong. Getting high every day is excessive for sure. However, some people actually benefit from smoking weed. My brother has a lot of physical problems from Lyme disease. Which doctors refuse to look into. Weed actually helps his pain. It "can" do good, and even for the people that smoke it just to get high... At the very least, it doesn't cause domestic disputes and car accidents like alcohol does. (This is most certainly coming from someone who does in fact drink alcohol quite often.)

Am sure most people buying the emote are just 'Histers'. An actual person who isn't just some hipster fag who smokes weed just smokes weed, they don't need to get attention out of people by throwing Weed-emotes at them to look like hardcore/badass fuckers or something.

What, is owning a weed-emote going to make you look cooler by trying to imply "Yea man, I smoke weed, I'm totally cool."

That's all I get from this.... I'd think a regular person who just smokes it wouldn't give a flying fuck and would think buying an emote would be stupid even if not high.

I smoke at times. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I can form proper sentences. In fact, I'm a really nice person. Are you saying that I should be sterilized? You're completely entitled to your opinion, but being rude when you don't understand something is completely unnecessary. Just a quick question here... Why is weed illegal in some areas? There are no studies that suggest that weed is bad for you, nor do you hear any domestic disputes, or vehicular accidents occurring from smoking weed. Smoking causes people to relax. They don't want to cause problems. If people want to smoke in their own homes, what's the problem? There is no problem, that's all there is to it.

Again, you're entitled to your opinion man. I respect that, and I'm not trying to be rude. I just want to give people some perspective on things. Weed isn't as bad as it's made out to be. It's illegal for the sake of being illegal. There is literally no reason for it to be against he law. In fact, that's why 3 states in the USA have already legalized it.

You wouldn't be the definition of a pothead as someone who smokes at times. You would be what could be considered a social weed smoker. Potheads are those who smoke it multiple times every day and make it such a part of their lives that they feel it necessary to make their online handles with things like "420" or "bluntz" just to tell the whole world how awesome they are cause they smoke dope so often.

Just for the record, I know someone who is a heavy heavy weed smoker and one day actually told me that instead of buying some extra groceries to feed his 3 kids, he bought weed. In fact I know 3 people who are insane potheads just like the description I give above and not one of them has aspirations to do anything in life and happen to be deadbeat parents so forgive me if my words came off harsh but that's been my experience and what brings such an utter disdain to the subject.

@Crazay - Wow, a father buying weed instead of groceries for his kids? Yeah, I get where you're coming from there... That's just horrible. Weed like any other substance. (Alcohol, cigarettes, etc.) Can be bad for you. It depends on the person really. Some people I know that drink are fun to be around. Others get violent and angry. It all depends on the person really. Some people can most certainly have a problem with weed just as they could with alcohol. If that's the case, they shouldn't be smoking or drinking.
